Reviews

This path-finding volume makes good on the promise implicit in its title: it describes a range of new cinematic and visual forms that have emerged in the context of historical trauma in a variety of national settings, and it strives to define the specific styles that can best come to grips with events that are sometimes considered unrepresentable. The careful analysis of individual texts and the informed and reflective commentary on theories of trauma and modes of representation will have a major impact on emerging scholarship. Robert J. Burgoyne, Professor of English, author of Film Nation: Hollywood Looks at U.S. History
